 *  A map of objects whose mapping entries are sequenced based on the order in
 *  which they were added.  This data structure has fast <I>O(1)</I> search
 *  time, deletion time, and insertion time.
 *
 *  <P>Although this map is sequenced, it cannot implement {@link
 *  java.util.List} because of incompatible interface definitions.  The remove
 *  methods in List and Map have different return values (see: {@link
 *  java.util.List#remove(Object)} and {@link java.util.Map#remove(Object)}).
 *
 *  <P>This class is not thread safe.  When a thread safe implementation is
 *  required, use {@link Collections#synchronizedMap(Map)} as it is documented,
 *  or use explicit synchronization controls.
